Needless to say, I didn't win the scavenger hunt yesterday, shocking I know. Even more shocking? That prick Gordon didn't win either... Apparently he got boggled down with the sports memorabilia. That's what happens when you're bred at a tender young age to become a lawyer, you miss out on all the other greatness life has to offer. I see it all the time. And not just only in the legal field. Both friends in medical school and grad school see it too. I think much of this stems from parental pressure.
Both of my parents are still just relieved I graduated high school, set aside the fact that I am now in law school. They've worried about me. But they shouldn't have. It's the people that did extremely well in high school and college that I'd be worried about. At what price did they get those grades? Well I can tell you. Ask them what ingredients are in an Irish Car Bomb, or what was the hot spring break song of 2003, or even what it feels like to get thrown out of a bar. They couldn't answer. Sadly it's these people that get takin for a ride here at the firm. They're used as cannon fodder to fill the already fat wallets of the suits above them. It's a brilliant scheme.
So listen, I know full well that I'm getting paid to do a job and that I volunteered for this type of life. All I'm doing is what the partners are doing to the associates, taking their money for a ride. I'll never be one of those incredibly intelligent individuals. I'll always be one of those individuals who will print out several articles off of Maxim.com, hold a highlighter in one hand, and make it look like I'm doing "work" all morning. It's my demise.

Ah, so being an intern, even a non-law one, is universally the same.
Do you mind if I subscribe to your blog? I didn't know if there were any unwritten rules about this sort of thing.
